Revision as of 04:23, 11 May 2007
The third single from 'Hot Space' was Brian's Spanish-tinged ballad 'Las Palabras De Amor (The Words Of Love)'. For the first time since 'Now I'm Here', the band chose not to record a promotional video for the song - and the only existing footage of Queen 'performing' to the familiar studio cut (as opposed to live footage) is from their appearance on Top Of The Pops in June of 1982.
The follow up single, 'Back Chat' does have a promotional video directed by Brian Grant once again, but as the song was far from a success (reaching only number forty in the UK singles charts) the footage was rarely seen prior to its inclusion on the 'Greatest Video Hits 2' dvd in 2003.
The video set was made to look like a disused, and partially flood factory, and the whole thing was shot in one day. As well as the unusual setting, what appears to be a basic performance from the band has a twist - there are two Freddie's pitted against each other. And whilst Freddie does spice up the footage with his usual vigour - cavorting around poles and pipes and playing with, then throwing a wrench around the set - the rest of the band looked somewhat unconvinced by both the song and the video, which may also account for it being unavailable on an official release for more than two decades!
